I normally use medium armor, and if I want to be extra fast I use light armor.

Don't get me wrong, I like the looks of chunkier armor, it is more my style.

But what is the use for heavy armor? I understand you are tougher to kill, but I am always left behind because it is slower.

Also I am still thrown around with explosions and I can't still be killed easily when overwhelmed, which I can avoid with medium or light armor by just healing constantly and running away.

So in what situations or what is the tactical advantage of heavy armor?

What? You’ve never tanked wearing the armor equivalent of the Michelin Man suit?

It sucks for moving, but it’s excellent for small defense maps like high value target and eradicate missions. Unless you need to run from guys with chainsaw hands or bile titans, or hulks…

Yeah, no, it’s shit.
